RT, in partnership with Mosfilm studios, has hosted a special screening of the iconic Soviet film \u2018The Cranes Are Flying\u2019 in Port Louis, Mauritius as part of its international \u2018Common Victory\u2019 project, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory in World War II.<\/p>\n
